Traditional Wrestling

Sports is not a huge deal here.  Most of our patients are village people who totally are not into it.  Among our staff, soccer is significant, but traditional wrestling gets the most 'buzz' around the hospital.  Once a year, there's a big tournament, where 8 of the country's regions send 10 wrestlers each.  If a wrestlers knee touches the ground, he's out... and it goes for a week until tomorrow the undefeated wrestler takes the champion's sword.

Our House Part 2

And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
